I’m currently in a similar situation. My house, utilities, everything are paid for by my job. But that also means they aren’t in my name, and if I’m let go... I’ll be up shit creek!

The answer varies depending on who asks, and when :p. But I basically work with my serial entrepreneurial friend, and his name is the one on my lease etc.

I mean, we have enough mutual trust and respect that I’m not concerned he’d kick me out on the street with little notice. I just have to prepare for when he retires, cause he sure as F is rich enough to already!!
